How long does it take to install a power point?

A single extra power point near an existing circuit is usually a quick job. Points that need new cable runs through walls or ceilings take longer. We give you a clear idea of timing when we quote.

Can you add a power point without damaging walls?

In most cases we can run cable through the roof space or underfloor and fish it down inside the wall cavity. Brick and concrete walls can need more work. We explain the options before starting.

Are USB power points safe?

Yes, when they are quality products installed by a licensed electrician. We use outlets that are approved for use in Australia.

Can I install a power point myself?

No. Installing or moving a power point is electrical work that must be done by a licensed electrician in NSW. DIY work can be dangerous and may affect your insurance.

Is it safe to keep using power boards?

Good quality power boards are fine for light use, but relying on them long term often means you need more outlets. Never plug power boards into each other.

Can you install a power point for my outdoor area?

Yes. We install weatherproof outdoor power points for decks, patios, sheds and gardens, positioned and protected for outdoor conditions.

Power Points Where You Actually Need Them

Most homes were wired for a very different lifestyle. A kitchen built decades ago might have two outlets on the bench. A bedroom might have one in a corner that is now behind the wardrobe. Today we charge phones, run computers, power screens and use more kitchen appliances than ever.

Professional power point installation puts outlets where you use them, so you can stop relying on power boards and extension leads. Our licensed electricians add, replace and relocate power points neatly, with each one tested before we leave.

Our Power Point Installation Services

We install a wide range of outlets for homes and workplaces, including:

extra single and double power points
relocated power points to suit new furniture or a wall-mounted TV
USB and USB-C power points for charging devices
outdoor weatherproof power points for patios, decks and gardens
power points in garages, sheds and workshops
dedicated outlets for appliances such as fridges and washing machines
replacement of cracked, loose or old-style outlets

Signs You Need New or Extra Power Points

You may need additional or replacement outlets if:

power boards and double adaptors are plugged in around the house
extension leads run across floors or under rugs
plugs fall out of loose outlets
a power point is cracked, scorched or discoloured
a power point feels warm when in use
outlets are in the wrong place after a renovation or layout change

‍

Overloaded power boards and damaged outlets are a common cause of overheating. If you have noticed heat, read our article on why a power point gets hot and what to do. If an outlet has stopped working altogether, our guide on what to check when a power point is not working is a good first step.

USB Outlets and Modern Charging

USB power points let you charge phones, tablets and other devices without bulky plug packs. They are popular beside beds, in kitchens and in home offices. We can fit outlets that combine standard sockets with USB ports so you do not lose a socket.

Outdoor Power Points

Outdoor areas need outlets rated for weather exposure, installed at a sensible height and positioned away from water where possible. They are handy for barbecues, pool equipment, garden tools, festoon lights and car vacuums.

‍

On the Central Coast, outdoor fittings also face salty air and humidity, so we choose weatherproof outlets suited to the location and seal them properly.

Safety Switch Protection and Circuit Capacity

Adding power points is not just a matter of tapping into the nearest cable. We check that the circuit can handle the extra load and that it has safety switch protection. If your switchboard lacks safety switches or is already near capacity, we explain the options.

‍

Our safety switch installation service adds protection to existing circuits. If your board is old or full, our switchboard upgrades service can create space for new circuits. Faulty outlets that keep tripping power are handled through our electrical repairs and fault finding service.
